[ARDF] Proposed MMRA Foxhunt 6 March 2010

[Charles Suprin]

With the warmer weather and school vacation gone past, Foxhunting can 
return to the MMRA Repeaters. There will be a two meter hunt with a 
second optional 900 hunt to follow.

This is to confirm the hunt is on for Saturday, March 6th pending MMRA 
approval for the use of the repeater.

Will be on the Weston 146.79 repeater input (146.19 MHz)..

The boundary will be a 10 mile radius from the Weston Repeater Site.
The fox transmissions will be clear through the repeater (on the 146.79 
repeater output, though the fox will be transmitting on 146.19 MHz).
Fox transmissions will be 30 seconds long each, and will occur every 
five minutes (10:00am, 10:05am, 10:10am, etc.).

The hunt will last until 12, unless found by all hunters. Will continue 
after 12 if needed and hunters are still out looking.
Anyone who wants hints after 12:00 noon should ask for them (on the 
repeater).
As in previous hunts and if there is an interest we will all go get 
lunch together.

Note: after the first transmission will ask for a roll call of who is 
out on the hunt.


The 900 Fox will be low power. The frequency will be given when a hunter 
arrives at the 2M fox. We do not want you using the 900MHz fox to find 
the 2 meter fox.

Respectfully,

Charles
